Abstract
What are the harsh consequences of racism and our country's slavery past in the life
of every black woman today? How does the current federal government reinforce the
reproduction of structural sexism and racism during a pandemic? Hunger, domestic violence,
femicide, informal work, unemployment, and political under-representation are issues

Black women remain vulnerable to social inequalities. And in the pandemic, these inequalities
are not only related to its management (contamination, death, and vaccination), but
also its economic and social consequences.
